They're already in university, and the primary school system is only just starting out?

Chapter 97 My computer configuration must be maxed out.

Chen Lin was now itching to immediately @ all members in the WeChat group and have Huang Yiyi and Sun Yu gather on the second floor of the co-working space for an overnight meeting to discuss the company's next development plan!

However, the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he forcibly suppressed it.

Huang Yiyi and Sun Yu had just finished their resignation procedures. Huang Yiyi even had a meeting with me as soon as she came back. They should get some rest and adjust their state.

It's one thing for the boss to be overly enthusiastic, but there's no need to make the salaried workers work themselves to the bone.

He took a deep breath, opened the WeChat group for the three-person "Yanhai Startup Partners", and sent a message.

Chen Lin: [@Huang Yiyi @Sun Yu, meet at the office on the second floor of the co-working space at 9:30 am next Monday for a short meeting to arrange the work ahead.]

After sending the message, Chen Lin tossed his phone aside and sprang up from the sofa like a spring.

Employees can rest, but the boss, as the core engine of the company, can't be idle!

He strode into the study, pulled a stack of brand-new A4 draft paper from the bookshelf, slammed it on the table with a "thud," and then pulled a handy ballpoint pen from the pen holder.

Ultimately, the company's development depends on the continuous output of its core technical personnel.

He decided to start working hard right away!

Starting this afternoon and continuing until Sunday evening, he will dedicate at least three hours each day to formally begin his research on "Manifold Boundaries and Illusion Control in Generative Models"!

The study fell silent instantly.

All that remained was the nib of Chen Lin's pen falling on the snow-white draft paper, making a crisp and rhythmic "shush" sound.

Monday, August 18th, 9:8 AM.

The historic first all-staff meeting of Yanhai Technology Consulting Co., Ltd. was officially launched on the second floor of the Yannan University Student Innovation Space.

The meeting room was so empty that you could hear your own echo.

In the large, open-plan office area, there was nothing but three people.

Chen Lin, Huang Yiyi, and Sun Yu, the company's three veterans, stood in the center of the 500-square-meter office in a triangular formation.

"cough."

Chen Lin cleared his throat, breaking the slightly awkward silence. He looked around, seeing the bright sunlight streaming into the space through the window, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"It's a bit simple, but consider it our company's opening ceremony." He clapped his hands and announced, "Welcome to YanHai Technology's first and second employees, officially joining the company!"

Sun Yu's face immediately broke into a simple, honest smile, and he clapped excitedly.

Meanwhile, Huang Yiyi maintained her impeccable professional demeanor. She simply smiled and nodded, then magically produced two pre-printed documents from her briefcase.

"Ms. Chen, these are my employment contract and onboarding form for Sun Yu and me." She handed the documents to the two of them respectively. "All the terms are drafted according to the standards we agreed on before. Sun Yu, you can double-check them. If there are no problems, once you sign them, our company's personnel files will be officially established."

That's efficient!

Chen Lin mentally gave his all-around assistant another thumbs up.

Sun Yu was clearly surprised by how smooth the onboarding process was. He accepted the contract with a somewhat flattered expression, read it carefully, and then solemnly signed his name.

Huang Yiyi retrieved the document, carefully placed it back in her briefcase, and then naturally took out her laptop, preparing to move on to the next topic.

"Mr. Chen, now that the HR process has begun, I suggest our next step should be to develop initial administrative, financial, and HR regulations for the company. For example, attendance policies, expense reimbursement procedures, and salary structures—"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Chen Lin quickly raised his hand to interrupt her, a wry smile on his face. "Ms. Huang, we don't have anything right now except for desks. As for rules and regulations, let's not rush that."

He pointed to the empty office and said, "The most urgent task is to get the office environment in order. So your primary task today is to study the procurement of office furniture and equipment."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yiyi paused for a moment, then nodded knowingly. Without any hesitation, she immediately created a new document on her laptop, typed out the words "Office Equipment Procurement List," and then looked up at Chen Lin with a questioning gaze.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any specific requirements?"

"The requirements are quite simple." Chen Lin stroked his chin and began to verbally state his thoughts. Huang Yiyi's fingers flew across the keyboard, accurately recording every word he said.

"First, the workstations should be configured for 8 people. Ergonomic chairs—not too fancy, but of good quality and comfortable. Employees sit in front of computers for long periods, so their backs and necks can't be damaged. What else do we need? You two can add to that..."

"By the way, my own workstation is fine, no need for anything special, just the same as everyone else's. Don't give me some kind of private general manager's office, it's unnecessary. If there's anything, I can just shout and everyone can hear me."

As Huang Yiyi took notes, she felt an even greater appreciation for the young boss's pragmatic style.

"And then, the most important part," Chen Lin said, his tone becoming noticeably excited, his eyes shining. "The computer specs have to be maxed out!"

He held up his finger and emphasized, word by word, "We live in the information society, and Yanhai is a technology consulting company. Computers are our productivity tools! Therefore, the configuration must be top-of-the-line from the start!"

"CPU, graphics card, RAM, SSD—get all the top-of-the-line components available on the market! Mechanical keyboards and ergonomic mice must also be high-end. And monitors—everyone must have two! The bigger the better!"

As Chen Lin spoke, he became more and more excited, and his little selfish motives were already on full display.

His laptop, which he'd used for four or five years, was so laggy that even playing ARAM was a struggle.

Now that I'm the boss, I can finally legitimately equip myself and my future employees with a top-of-the-line e-sports—oh no, I mean office equipment!

From now on, this office will be his private internet cafe!

When I'm tired from work, I can switch to playing a couple of games anytime to relax—it's perfect.

Looking at her boss's serious expression that said, "I'm doing this for the company's development," Huang Yiyi couldn't help but smile slightly, curving into a beautiful arc.

She didn't ask any further questions, but faithfully recorded the following in the document: [Computer equipment: Top-of-the-line configuration (specific model to be confirmed), dual monitors, high-end keyboard and mouse set].

After finishing writing, she looked up and asked professionally, "Okay, Mr. Chen. What about the procurement budget—"

"Budget?" Chen Lin waved his hand dismissively, his face radiating an air of "I'm not short of money right now." "There's no limit to the budget! Just pick the best and buy it; you don't need to worry about the money."

"Understood." Huang Yiyi responded crisply and began to search and organize office furniture price information on her computer.
